| description | The relations between Margaret Thatcher’s government and unions were tense. The stagflation of the end of 1970’s motivated a change of attitude of the Tories, who broke the social consensus of he postwar period and initiated a counter- offensive in order to weaken unions and eliminate rights that had been conquered in the last century and half. The return of the Tories to power in 1979 was the beginning of a battle of capital aiming at the reduction of the social and political power of unions, strengthened during the previous Labour governments. The hostility of the power bloc toward unions was sufficiently evident when Thatcher declared them “public enemy number one” of the nation, identifying them as the main obstacles to the implementation of neoliberalism and the project of modernization of the State. |

Direitos trabalhistas e políticas de confrontação com o sindicalismo britânico: 1979-90 Arruda, Pedro Fassoni The relations between Margaret Thatcher’s government and unions were tense. The stagflation of the end of 1970’s motivated a change of attitude of the Tories, who broke the social consensus of he postwar period and initiated a counter- offensive in order to weaken unions and eliminate rights that had been conquered in the last century and half. The return of the Tories to power in 1979 was the beginning of a battle of capital aiming at the reduction of the social and political power of unions, strengthened during the previous Labour governments. The hostility of the power bloc toward unions was sufficiently evident when Thatcher declared them “public enemy number one” of the nation, identifying them as the main obstacles to the implementation of neoliberalism and the project of modernization of the State. As relações entre o governo de Margaret Thatcher e os sindicatos foram tensas. A estagflação do final dos anos 70 motivou uma mudança de atitude dos conservadores, que romperam o compromisso social do pós-guerra e iniciaram uma contra-ofensiva para enfraquecer os sindicatos e eliminar direitos que foram conquistados no último século e meio. O retorno dos conservadores ao poder, em 1979, foi o início de uma luta do capital visando reduzir o poder político e social dos sindicatos, fortalecidos durante os governos trabalhistas anteriores. A hostilidade do novo bloco no poder, em relação aos sindicatos, ficou bastante evidente quando Thatcher declarou-os o “inimigo público número um” da nação, identificando-os como os principais obstáculos à implementação do neoliberalismo e do projeto de “modernização” do Estado. 2007-06-19 2022-03-17T18:04:15Z 2022-03-17T18:04:15Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/18689 10.23925/ls.v0i17/18.18689 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/49886 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/18689/13886 application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Lutas Sociais; n. 17/18 (2007): Estado e trabalhadore(a)s em perspectiva histórica; 143-155 2526-3706 1415-854X 10.23925/ls.v0i17/18 |
